Don't waste time attaching patterns to the surface of the digitizer by adhesive tape or other ways. Just clear a little space on Your desktop, make the patterns there and go to the computer. Input patterns in computer in one click. The camera will automatically send the patterns to the computer. The image is automatically processed, the recognition process (digitizing) digitizing takes only a few seconds. A simple calibration procedure is performed once when You first install the system. The maximum error deviation of a line of 0.7 mm.
The function of the bypass circuit helps to quickly and easily view the results. Dimension of segments or sections of the perimeter to check and adjust the internal elements or the shape of the curves if necessary. To add or remove any elements after digitization, to draw up the specification details. Zoom feature, and navigation along with the special magnifying glass makes the job as simple and effective.
Save the patterns directly in the native format of Your CAD system. No matter what CAD system You use, the photo digitizer is compatible with it for sure. Gemini Photo Digitizer (Gemini Photo Digitizer) remembers save options (the save path, file format, etc.). So You can save the patterns directly in Your CAD system with just one click.
In the process of creating manual patterns (or preparing them to enter), you need to follow some simple rules for marking internal parts. This will avoid manual adjustments of patterns after entering into the computer.

No, of course, most everybody did not. The C-64 was a great game machine, but it had an 8-bit 6510 microprocessor running at 2 MHz (thats 0.002 GHz) and it lacked the number-crunching power to do anything as compute-intensive as serious Image Processing. Yet it was the only computer I owned back then, and having graduated with an MSc in electro-optics it seemed wrong that I wouldnt use it to recreate what Id learned. I just had to do this...
My first successful test, a portrait from the newspaper (left),
scanned in and printed back out on the Gemini 10X (right) Of course, I had another problem: I had no images to process! This was 1986, before I even had a modem, and I had no digitized photos in the 170KB Commodore floppy disk format. Low-cost flatbed scanners were still in the future, as were digital cameras (in the university I had used a flying spot scanner, which I actually had to build as part of my thesis; this occupied a lab bench, cost thousands of dollars in parts and took most of a year to construct and debug). So my first challenge was to homebrew a cheap digitizer, which would scan a photo in a raster pattern and record the gray level at every point.
Building a precision X-Y scan mechanism was beyond my capabilities; I had to improvise. I started with the idea that if I could get my hands on a surplus laboratory X-Y plotter, I could fit a photocell to its pen holder to do my scanning with. When this plan failed (because no plotter made its appearance) I was stumped. And then I had the Aha! moment: it struck me that I already had an X-Y mechanism in my trusty Gemini 10X dot matrix printer! This was already set to move the paper in the vertical direction while moving the print head horizontally, all controllable from software. All I needed to do was build a light sensitive sensor to replace the print head. The next idea was even better: leave the print head in place (after all, I still needed a printer) and make the scan head clip onto it in the right position; then feed the photo, print a blank page onto it, and read the sensors output as the head carries it across the image.
This was a sensible plan. I proceeded to put to use the pack of assorted chipped lenses Id bought from Edmund Scientific a while before. I designed an optical assembly comprising a cheap photo-transistor inside a focusable lens assembly made from brass tubing, and added a tiny lamp in an oblique tube to light the page under the lens. This was fixed to a binder clip that would clip onto the print head. A cable led from this assembly to a small box housing the electronics that converted the signal to a voltage range that the Commodore could read via its Game Paddle input connector. This weird gizmo, shown in the photos below, worked beautifully; at a cost of under fifty bucks, it was a true bargain.
Click a photo to enlarge The next task was to craft the software that would read in images from my funny scanner, store them to floppy disk, read them back in, display them on the small TV monitor I used, and apply to them a variety of processing operations at my command. The problem was that the C-64 really was too slow, and its primitive dialect of BASIC was no match for any serious programming task. It was clear Id need to code in assembler to get any speed out of this computer. I set out to teach myself 6510 assembly language from a book by Jim Butterfield, a leading guru in the Commodore magazines of the time.
Equipped with the language, I bought MAE (a Macro Assembler and Editor package from Eastern House Software), and developed a program with the unimaginative name G (for Graphics). It was quite a task, generating 2000 lines of source code, 90% of it in assembler; and when it was ready I could honestly claim I was capable of processing images on a C-64. Of course there are disclaimers: the images were 320x200 pixels (all that the 64 was capable of!), and were in two levels of gray: black and white. Actually I had demonstrated the ability to process more gray levels, but in the interest of speed I reverted to B&W. And youd be surprised at the amount of fun stuff you can do with that! G could scan images and mess around with them: invert them to negative, add them to each other with various Boolean operations, retouch them with a joystick, extract contiguous features, and perform user-defined 9-pixel weighted-sum transforms, allowing the construction of a great many custom operations and achieving effects like edge detection or noise removal.
The photos below show some of what could be achieved. They are scanned from old printouts... alas, I had donated my C-64 to a kid in need, and these pages - along with a stack of source printouts and an old floppy disk that may or may not be readable - are all that I have now to show for almost a year of happy tinkering.
Raw images: two scanned photos, a scanned drawing of a horse, and a freehand doodle (courtesy of my daughter) drawn into the program with a joystick.
"Etching and Plating" -- operators that remove and add edge pixels, and a Boolean operation resulting in edge extraction.
"Noise filtering" -- removal of isolated random pixels achieved by two consecutive transforms.

Quick and easy results inspection of the automatic digitizer using the Contour Play function. Measure distances and perimetral contour, check and adjust the internal elements or the shape of the curves if necessary, add or delete any element, input the piece name, all in one single window. Done! Easy to use zoom and navigate functions and the special magnifier viewer make your activity easy and efficient.
Save the patterns directly in the native format of your CAD system. It does not matter what CAD system you use, the photo digitizer is compatible with it (see the list below). The system will remember the saved settings (location, format, etc), so you can have the patterns available directly in your CAD system with one simple click.
The photo digitizer can save the patterns in the native original format of Lectra, Gerber, Investronica, Assyst, Gemini .The patterns can also be exported for any other application using the standard dxf aama format, it was also tested with FK, TetraCad, Optitex, Wearcad, Konsan, Tukatech, PolyPattern, Richpeace, Novocut, Vetigraph, Consult+, Astor, AGMS, Julivi, Moda 01 and others.
The photo digitizer can automatically extract the pattern contour, using precise Bezier curves, can identify corners and mark them as reference points, can identify different type of notches (marked or cut), internal points and internal lines. By convention, the longest internal line found will be declared as grain axis. When the pattern is created inside the office, it is useful to respect some standard marking procedures avoiding any manual adjustment of the digitizing results.
